The covering material (46) has at least a first layer (50) of fibers and a second layer (52) of fibers with a thin, loosely woven layer (56) of material interposed therebetween. At least a portion of the fibers of the first layer of fibers and the second layer of fibers are interlocked with the layer of loosely woven material interposed therebetween. The covering material preferably includes a third layer (54) of fibers, with a second thin, loosely woven layer (58) of material between the second and third layers of fibers.</p> |
